Zimbabwe is a nice place and safest place in the world. i am from Odisha, India. I am working here since 2007 as Manager Materials in a steel manufacturing company. Before coming here, i had lot of queries like how the place is? how the Zimbabwean are? how the social life is? how the work culture is in Zimbabwe? How safe it is to work? etc. etc. but after working here, i found it is really a safe place to work.

Hi abhiramdas

Is it truth? I will arrange a schedular to visit Zimbabwe in 2011.I have many queries like you.Can you tell me more details about Zimbabwe if you have free time. thanks

Nyonie

Iam a citizen of Zimbabwe, i can help with the information you want to ask. True is a free country.Our first port of call is honest speaking and open.How?.When we genuinely like ourselves, we become more attractive to other people. We have more to offer others because we are not constantly focused on our own image and reputation.
We become better friends because we don't cling. We are secure enough to spend time with a friend because we want to, not because we need to. On one hand, what brings people to this world is this amazing opportunity to meet people from all over the world. On the other, when it cames to making friends it becomes more difficult. Not everyone we know becomes our friend, right? ,Also sharing passion is another great way of people with the same interested, so it's high possibility that you become friends

HWANGE
There are a variety of accomadation options available at the three main rest camps Maincamp, Robins and Sinimatella camps. Ranging from luxury to basic camping.

Main Camp is of the course the hub of Hwange national park .It is the main centre for all activities based in the park, the is an abundance of viewing opportunities available within a short drive out of the camp gates.

Sinimatella camp is a couple of hours drive from main camp and is situated on a mesa overlooking the plains. An abundance of buffalo, elephant and lion make this camp a highlight to any african wildlife safari.

Robins Camp is the most basic of the camps, but it gives the traveller a more realistic view of the bush and it's wildlife. The accomadations are a lot closer to nature and a lot more rustic. Wildlife viewing is available along the rough roads.Contact National Parks office-Zimbabwe to book your accomadation in Harare.
I am failing to put pictures on this is really big.
